By Gina Carbone Yes, this is the way to crush a fine legacy. Thank you for checking. Now please implant new memories in my brain so I can forget.

Considering the shrugging reviews that "The X-Files" feature film is now getting, it won't be competing for Hollywood showbiz awards like its original TV series. Not even at the Golden Globes, where voters adored the tube version.
But not at first. "The X-Files" TV series debuted in 1993, greeted with cheers and blaring trumpets by TV critics and sci-fi freaks, but it was overlooked at the Globes.

Last night we rushed out to see the new X-Files movie, despite the weak reviews (I refused to read them) and the minimal crowds (there were about 20 people in the audience during our Friday night screening). I didn’t care if the movie was a complete flop, simply seeing Mulder and Scully back together again was going to be enough.
And, I must say, I was relieved to feel all those old familiar feelings rushing back.

I saw the first movie on opening day; I have a couple of X-Files tee shirts somewhere in my closet, and even have the soundtrack album of music inspired by the show.
